    Hi. Using the OPT+ on the remote control does show the File Manager in the setting options? I want to use the copy feature to send a program to the USB port on the recorder. It's a feature I have used in the past, a long time ago, with the help of a telephone conversation with Humax at that time. After many attempts and with the USB being recognized by the recorder I am at a total loss. Can anyone help.

    You need to first tell the Foxsat where to send the file to before locating the file.

    Hi again
    Thanks for your reply, but the link did not seem to show a direct path to finding the file manager. The options pop up window after the USB is plugged in and recognized contains the following.

    A large portion containing the channel that's currently on, it's program title, together with it's freesat frequency.

    Underneath in a yellow background is favourites group with boxes 1 to 5

    Below that is LOCK and then below that is
    DELETE.

    Unless HUMAX updates have altered the way the file manager can be displayed which is now not in keeping the manual, then I am at a loss as to how to get to the copy feature.

    Regards David

    Looking at the link (and also a screenshot that some how an internet search came up with) the pop-up you describe is just for confirming that the USB has been recognised.

    My understanding is that once the USB is recognised, and the pop-up dismissed, then you can use the Media button and then OPT+ and select the File Manager option.

    Then with the file manager displayed the sequence of actions is:
    1/ On the right hand side open the USB's top folder and optionally navigate to a sub-folder if that is where you want to copy to;
    2/ Then on the left hand side move the focus to the programme that you want to copy;
    3/ The green button should now be available to start the copy

    Hi Luke
    Thank you for the information it was a bit difficult but I got there in the end. I now know why I did the talk through with Humax all those years ago when I first bought the system. Thanks again,
